But during cross-examination by his own lawyer, Taylor insisted he would have offered to help Fierro if he had known pimp Rasheed Davis had beaten her into going to his Montebello room early on May 6, 2010.

He also said he had never once been accused of using force to sleep with a woman, despite what his lawyer, Arthur Aidala, suggested were “hundreds” of encounters during Taylor’s celebrated athletic career.

Taylor, the hero of two Giant Super Bowl-winning teams, testified Wednesday that he was visiting Rockland to make $50,000 at a corporate “meet-and-greet.”

But during questioning by Aidala yesterday, he conceded that his lucrative work had since dried up.

“Because of perceived image, of course, and I understand that,” Taylor said.

“Because of this case?” Aidala asked.

“This [civil] case and the criminal case,” Taylor said.

Taylor admitted initially lying to both the cops and his wife about having had sex with the girl.

“The fact of the matter is that you will lie when it’s convenient for you?” Goldberg asked.

“I think that’s fair,” Taylor replied.

Taylor said he didn’t remember what Fierro was wearing when she awoke him, but had no doubt why she was there.

“She looked like she wasn’t there to clean the room. She looked like a working girl,” he said.

Taylor also said he had been disturbed to learn the details of Fierro’s troubled life during the trial.

“I have daughters — I wouldn’t want that to happen to them,” he said. “But my daughters, I’m taking care of that.”
